alot of people rooting for the niners are starting to come up with conspiracy theories LOL.They think that game had bad reffing, and they called us sour grapes for XL which is easily the worst super bowl in history.

Congrats Baltimore!

There were blown calls against both teams. Plus, Crabtree had a nice push-off on that play anyway. The Forty-Mourners will look for any path to make themselves feel better.

I didn't watch the game. I'm holding to my promise to discontinue football watching. I see it was a close game though, so I guess they had a chance. Nothing like losing in heartbreaking fashion. To be "so close" two years in a row has to beat the crap out of you emotionally. The only team I saw that handled it ok was the Bills in the Kelly era. The Vikings did it too, but that was before my time. I find both of those teams much tougher than this 49ers team. They had stronger personalities and vastly superior coaching. Levy and Bud Grant were both old hardbutts that were also good leaders and not whiny little punks, but stayed true to what it takes to be a good and consistent leader.

They get a first place schedule and their team will not be the same next year.

It doesn't matter what they do, they had their chance and BLEW it. They will not get another chance like this year for a long time.

Next year would not be any different for the Hawks, but the Niners losing the SB is a great way to start. CK couldn't get it done with 1st and goal from the 7 for the game. You out the Hawks in that situation with Wilson and he wins.

The only concern I have and I mean only is that Bevell will get cute and pass even though Lynch is gaining yardage. 1/30/2015 - loaf

Heard Kaepernicks presser on the drive back from my Super Bowl party and man... He sounds like such a whiny immature punk. Kid has talent, but you really notice his maturity is lacking especially in comparison to Wilson.

Yup, they had to put the slippery when wet signs up all over the 49rs locker room tonight because of Jim Harbaughs big alligator tears,,Hell, what am I saying, they were probably all having a big hug and cryfest,,,I can see it all now,Tears and snot running down each others backs LOLOLOL.

What gets me is NFL.com is giving this major exposure. It's getting a lot more coverage and scrutiny than Super Bull XL ever did. Large market teams get the attention I s'pose.

If Holmgren would have acted like a little b**ch on the sideline after the calls, forcing the commentators to talk about it, then the media might have talked more about it. Even though I wasn't a fan then, I knew that the Seahawks were jobbed in XL and I too was amazed at the lack of media attention. That being said, I do think it was a holding call last night that should have been called. Also, the hold on the Punt/Safety the second-to-last play of the game was even more rediculous-the lineman was tackled from behind--I think if that is called, the Niners would have had more of a chance. Baltimore did deserve to win for most of the game, but who knows?

They don't stop the clock for a holding call. So the holding in the end zone changed absolutely nothing, which is why John telling his players to hold like hell is pure genius.

I CANT STAND Jim Harbaugh. How did his brother turn out to be a decent human being and Jim managed to get all the douchebaggery traits. I have never seen one man put on such an act in my life. The dude should be on a broadway musical during the off season.

All of the people I know who are fans of other NFL teams, often tell me they hate Pete Carroll's antics on the sideline. Which I can understand, its frustrating to see your team getting stomped and on top of it, you have to watch the opposing coach practically having a party with his players. But at least Pete isn't throwing a complete temper tantrum, chucking his headset on the ground and screaming right in the ref's face. Like Jim Harbaugh does, constantly. Even when that guy is up by 2 or more TD's, he is still crapping his pants over every minor issue on the field. The dude is such a joke. I've seen Middle School Junior Varsity Football coaches [who are actually just a parent who has one too many DUI's and is forced to coach through a community service program] exhibit more class.

I'm not a fan of her music, but that was one heck of a performance. IMO at least.. One thing I couldn't stand, for some reason, was how slow Alicia Keys played the Star Spangled Banner. Wasn't a fan of the piano either.

I was furious at the power outage at the time. It removed momentum from the Ravens, and gave a ton of extra time for San Francisco to work on adjustments. I wonder if a 49ers fan cut the power somewhere?...

Nah, the Niners just brought their Candlestick PG&E crew along with them to help.

Kaepernick is such a punk. I can't stand the way he wears a full sweat suit and flat bill cap practically over his eyes for national interviews. You are an NFL QB. Show some class. Then he opens his mouth and sounds like such a whiny little bitch and its over.

He and Harbaugh make the most unlikeable QB-Coach tandem in NFL history.

49ers fans need to realize that their "elite QB" (Or so the media was trying to paint that picture) gave the WR ZERO chance of making the play.

I could see calling a hold IF the ball was catchable. But Kaepernick -- err Krap-ernick, didn't give his guy a chance.

If say there was no "hold" there still was absolutely no chance of the play being completed- the ball ended up 2 yards out of bounds. So the 49ers fans are just grasping at straws.

Exactly. And even Crabtree knows the truth:

I mean, it felt like there was a lot of contact," Crabtree said. "I don't even want to say this, but if the ball had been a little lower, giving me a chance to make a play, I'm sure they would've called it. But it happened like that, man. I've got a lot of confidence in my offensive line and quarterback; we fought back. It was a comeback, and we gave it our all."
